YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?
WE HAVE ANSWERS!
Over the years we have learned that there are some questions that are most commonly asked by potential franchisees. We’ve answered those questions here. If you have a question you don’t see answered here, please contact us with your question. We will be happy to answer it.
What makes Hot Head Burritos different from similar franchising opportunities?
We deliver flavors from mild to wild and sweet to spicy in a variety of dishes so there’s something for everyone to enjoy eating. And, we’re always rolling out limited-time offerings to keep things fresh and customers coming back for more. We’re also the only ones offering toasted burritos and bowls, which create another level of warm delicousness! Plus, our new cantina option adds a welcome (and before now missing!) lucrative twist to the fast casual Mexican arena.
How do I get started?
We like to start things off with a conversation to discuss your goals and experience. We can also talk about what cities you would like to be located in. Next, we’d invite you to our corporate office for a Discovery Day to talk in more detail and visit some of our corporate stores. Please call Brian Peeler at 661-312-4372 to get started.

We are an SBA approved franchise. We do not directly offer financing; however, we do have a working relationship with a number of banks very familiar with franchising.

How soon can I open?
It takes about six months. However, a lot of depends on how soon a location can be located and a lease negotiated. Architectural plans, permitting and construction can also add to the timeline as well.
What are the best locations?
The success of a location can vary based on many factors. We prefer locations with a mix of residential and commercial, but we have seen success in many different types of locations. We will work with you to find the best location.
